What does being a father mean to you?
Legacy. It means I have the ability to add immense value to another human being.
Describe your experience with your father growing up and how that impacted you today.
I was raised by a single mom. It lit a fire under me to give my son everything I didn’t have plus more.
What things did you take from your experience growing up into your own fatherhood journey?
How to be there. How to instill a strong male-male bond and male -female bond.
Have you had any obstacles on your fatherhood journey? If so, explain.
Yes, connecting initially after birth. I didn’t know how to add value. It felt like my wife was doing the heavy lifting.
What advice would you give others new on their fatherhood journey?
Take every day as an opportunity to grow as a father and friend with your child.
If you wanted to write a quick note to your father, starting with “Dear Father,” what would it be?
Dear Father, be a grandfather!
